This is a bump.

Been listening not only to the new compiliation but other dirty darktrain compilations from the past few years, in response to Sean's comment above that "Sweet In Winter, Sweet In Rain..." is higher quality than previous years' collections. Maybe attributable to Profesor's mastering or the advances in technology, but...

Well, i've got discs of the following in front of me...

"RTSR - Power On" (2003?)
"Dirty Musicians" (2005)
"Sounds for a Dirty Summer: (2006)
"Dreamgirl, I'm Desperate For You" (2007)
"Evidence of Autumn" (2008)
"Sweet In Winter, Sweet in Rain" (2009)

i've been a contributor for the past 5 comps., as well as providing cover art for the past 3 years. But in all cases, i'm humbled and very impressed by the quality and diversity of the producers on deck. Eclectic, energetic, and inspired, each years' offering comes as a pleasant surprise and a unique testament to where EDM was at that date and where it should be headed, given the talents of those involved. My little bedroom compositions notwithstanding, there's a lot of consistent talent in these discs, as well as the annual new names and fresh sounds.

I hope we can still get something cooking in terms of a professional review. Again, big thanks to team Underworld for posting on facebook, to dirtyradio for hosting, and all involved in making and sharing!
